9 February 12

My sister Gloria Rae (Kleppinger) Huizenga was born on this date a whole bunch of years ago. When I asked her to select a tie for me to wear today, she settled on this one featuring coffee beans. In the early 1970s, she and my wife-to-be urged me to drink the stuff myself, but my tastes have long preferred hot chocolate. Writing this blog entry has inspired me to want some right now. Happy Birthday, dear sister!
